Summary
jeonghan breaks open beneath candlelight and collarbone, above the body of a man he was never allowed to touch, reverend joshua.
no one begged for mercy, just opened their mouths wider, offered their throats like hymns.
God watches, and for once, says nothing

Summary
“Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.”
She came to him beneath the dark hush of a confessional, carrying jasmine on her skin, scripture in her bones, and sins she did not believe required forgiveness. By night, she danced beneath red lights to keep her dying sister alive. By day, she knelt before a God she had never stopped loving.
He had spent his life believing devotion should be enough.
A Catholic priest bound by vows, discipline, and the quiet certainty of a life already chosen, he knew exactly what she was to him: temptation, danger, a line he could not cross. He told himself that wanting was not the same as taking. That love could be survived if it was never spoken. That a man could stand before God with desire burning through him and still remain faithful.
Then she began to return. To his confessional. His church. His thoughts. His prayers.
And somewhere between sacred vows and stolen glances, hospital corridors and red-lit rooms, devotion began to resemble desire, and desire began to feel dangerously like worship.
Some sins were confessed. Some were chosen.
And some were beautiful enough to ruin you.
